Re: K-5 at a wedding: My two complaints
John, were shadow compensation, lens corrections etc ON ? They significantly slow down the camera. 2011/4/24 John Celio n...@neovenator.com: I shot a wedding in Yosemite National Park yesterday and my K-5 performed admirably. There were two problems I noticed that got on my nerves and may have ruined some pictures. 1. The shot-to-preview time (how long it takes a photo to appear on the screen after it is taken) is painfully long. Granted, these photos are much larger than what I was used to with my K10D (which was pretty quick with the previews), but I really wish Pentax could find some way to speed things up for us chimpers. It is partly because of this delay that my second complaint came about. 2. When shooting indoors with my 540FGZ attached, I had to keep a very close eye on flash exposure in the preview images and constantly dial back the flash output by at least one stop and up to two stops to prevent massive highlight blowout. This bit me in the ass during the cake cutting because I had to be fast, I had to be in close proximity to the table couple, the flash had somehow reset itself to normal output and I couldn't wait for the camera to show me if I was getting the proper exposure. Now, maybe this can be chalked up to Pentax's flash system being not-that-great, or maybe it's just my relative inexperience and lack of foresight, but I wish I had just bumped the ISO way up and shot without flash. Live and learn, I guess. At least I can say with some certainty that those were the only bad shots I took, and I know the bride groom (who are friends) probably won't care that much. It was the second marriage for both of them and the whole thing was pretty casual.

I plan to test the k-5 with the flash this week. Cheers, Christine This is one reason i gave up on the 360 K-10 combo for indoor work.

There were two problems I noticed that got on my nerves and may have ruined some pictures. 1. The shot-to-preview time (how long it takes a photo to appear on the screen after it is taken) is painfully long. Granted, these photos are much larger than what I was used to with my K10D (which was pretty quick with the previews), but I really wish Pentax could find some way to speed things up for us chimpers. It is partly because of this delay that my second complaint came about. 2. When shooting indoors with my 540FGZ attached, I had to keep a very close eye on flash exposure in the preview images and constantly dial back the flash output by at least one stop and up to two stops to prevent massive highlight blowout. This bit me in the ass during the cake cutting because I had to be fast, I had to be in close proximity to the table couple, the flash had somehow reset itself to normal output and I couldn't wait for the camera to show me if I was getting the proper exposure. Now, maybe this can be chalked up to Pentax's flash system being not-that-great, or maybe it's just my relative inexperience and lack of foresight, but I wish I had just bumped the ISO way up and shot without flash. Live and learn, I guess. At least I can say with some certainty that those were the only bad shots I took, and I know the bride groom (who are friends) probably won't care that much.

PESO: Annie Lennox

Re: Finally a use for my old D1Dave
Those paper hole images are oh, so soft. Would be so much better with a brass pinhole. Just use a black body cap with a .02/.5mm on the front. That's very close to a 50mm focal length @ about f100. .5mm can be done with wire gage bits and thin brass sheets can be acquired @ a hobby shop. Even if one does not get serious about it, something better than paper should be easy to do.

I'll blame this on the fact that I was shooting while trying not to get caught. And, I had a date standing next to me so I was trying to pay attention to her as well. Stacked on top of the disasters was my test roll of tungsten-balanced Ektachrome for one roll. I found out quickly that the bright lights on a stage are not as warm as one might think. Disaster.

RE: K-5 at a wedding: My two complaints

John -- http://www.jacelio.com Original Message Subject: Re: K-5 at a wedding: My two complaints From: Thibouille pentaxl...@gmail.com Date: Mon, April 25, 2011 12:03 am To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List pdml@pdml.net John, were shadow compensation, lens corrections etc ON ? They significantly slow down the camera. 2011/4/24 John Celio n...@neovenator.com: I shot a wedding in Yosemite National Park yesterday and my K-5 performed admirably. There were two problems I noticed that got on my nerves and may have ruined some pictures. 1. The shot-to-preview time (how long it takes a photo to appear on the screen after it is taken) is painfully long. Granted, these photos are much larger than what I was used to with my K10D (which was pretty quick with the previews), but I really wish Pentax could find some way to speed things up for us chimpers. It is partly because of this delay that my second complaint came about. 2. When shooting indoors with my 540FGZ attached, I had to keep a very close eye on flash exposure in the preview images and constantly dial back the flash output by at least one stop and up to two stops to prevent massive highlight blowout. This bit me in the ass during the cake cutting because I had to be fast, I had to be in close proximity to the table couple, the flash had somehow reset itself to normal output and I couldn't wait for the camera to show me if I was getting the proper exposure. Now, maybe this can be chalked up to Pentax's flash system being not-that-great, or maybe it's just my relative inexperience and lack of foresight, but I wish I had just bumped the ISO way up and shot without flash. Live and learn, I guess. At least I can say with some certainty that those were the only bad shots I took, and I know the bride groom (who are friends) probably won't care that much. It was the second marriage for both of them and the whole thing was pretty casual.

Re: Totally OT: Who'd have thought it? (bike related)
I wouldn't give up jogging because I too find that it knackers me more. It's also high impact, which is good for bone strength. And bad for knees. I ran for many years using the most cushioned shoes I could find the 'softest' surface I could find - definitely not concrete - yet I still wound up with knee pains so bad I had to give up running altogether and eventually have both knees replaced, admittedly I don't have the ideal runners physique.

Which body/lens?
Next weekend when I shoot a conference in the Chicago area. http://godfaithculture.com I'm taking the DSLR and shooting everything in raw. Will probably use 2 lenses: A35/2 and A70-210/4. Maybe the FA50/1.4 depending on room size. Flash is a Sunpak 611. Plenty of light, with a little Westcott thingie on it for softness. But I'm also going to shoot bw film. And this forces a choice. (That's the question.) I'd like to use just 1 lens on the bw body. The body will be either the SP1000 or the KX. With a small flash. (there should be one laying around here somewhere) I'm thinking ... just 50mm on the film? Or maybe the 21mm? DOF is tempting, but so is 50mm sharpness. And so is carrying less gear. The KX is such a tank! Lens options are: FA50/1.4, A35/2, 21/3.5 m42.

Sendai, Japan - 1946
We went to dinner at my sister's yesterday. She showed me pictures that my dad took in 1946. He was a dentist in the US Army and spent most of '46 in Sendai. I haven't seen the pictures since childhood, but wonder what could be done with them. The pictures of his buddies and fellow doctors are nothing special, but the pictures of people and places might be interesting. I suspect some of these folks are still living, especially the children. Any suggestions?

Advice
I have a want ad on craigslist for lenses that will work on a Pentax camera. Well after two months of having the ad on craigslist I have heard from a lovely lady that has the following lenses. Now she read the information to me over the phone as the only computer she has access to is at work so she was not able to email me that information. I will be meeting her tomorrow afternoon after work at a neutral location (a restaurant) to buy said lenses. I am new to older lenses so will these even work on my K-R without having to get an adopter and also are these worth buying. SMC Pentax f 1:1.4/50 zoom l37 52mm Nikon (the description she gave was for the filter that is on the lens so not even sure what this lens could be.) sigma zoom 1:3.5-4.5 f28-84mm Need help with this this evening as I stated have plans on meeting tomorrow evening.

SMC Pentax f 1:1.4/50 zoom l37 52mm Nikon (the description she gave was for the filter that is on the lens so not even sure what this lens could be.) sigma zoom 1:3.5-4.5 f28-84mm Need help with this this evening as I stated have plans on meeting tomorrow evening. The SMCP F 1.4 50 should be excellent if she's given you the correct info. Here's a picture of it so you can compare with the one she has: http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/lenses/primes/normal/F50f1.4.html If this is it, it will work on the K-r. The Nikon won't fit the K-r or any other Pentax directly (and I doubt it would with an adapter, if one even exists). The Sigma will work if it's K mount. If it's a manual focus lens you'll need to use the green button method on the K-r (the quoted zoom range is odd - it's probably a 28-80). If it's like the one I used to have, it's OK but nothing special.
